It's also an extra layer of effort to solidify how I felt playing Metroid Prime back on the GameCube so long ago. That game is immersive as hell, and the idea of swiping between visors and seeing the heat emanating from doors or rain droplets on your actual visor as you look up, or turning on X-Ray and seeing your (models) skeleton beneath you would be absolutely fascinating. That's the VR experience I'm waiting for someone to make.

I had a fever dream once that Metroid Prime 4 was in development for so long because Nintendo was trying to make it a proper AAA game using VR and their labo set. You'd buy the game and it would come with a switch-headset holder and funny cardboard arm cannon which holds the joycons. When playing you would press buttons within the arm cannon which would activate the joycon buttons to do actions, and combinations would activate stuff like different beams exactly like how you can see her arm in xray in the first game.

It sounds lame when written down because lmao labo but I would absolutely play the shit out of this concept. I've been dying for new control schemes that aren't standard controllers for a long time. It's why the Wii was such a hot success; the closest approximate to VR without the nausea.

@WoodshopHandman I posted a vid of me scrolling thru it but I didn't realize it casually dox'd me so here are cropped screencaps instead

holy SHIT @WoodshopHandman YOURE FAMOUS (51.2k likes)

@Humpleupagus My name is Garloid P. Gherkin and I live in your walls

If I ever get doxed I'm going to become the next jonny and post myself ranting as I pace the kitchen

@LukeAlmighty @Dudebro @philmchawk @KuteboiCoder Imagine if there were thousands of physically handicapped people online who loudly complained that their friends never invited them to go swimming. Imagine if normal-bodied people got mad that they were never invited to participate in the Olympics. Imagine if the Latin-Americans got mad that all our US phone lines and grocery labels weren't in Span- oh. Scratch that last one.

I make do with what I was born with, which is more than some but less than many others. I don't let it bother me enough to get mad at the world and want to watch it be destroyed. Usually.

@LukeAlmighty @philmchawk @Dudebro @KuteboiCoder I don't find it too much a waste of time considering I've finished my weekend work and have nothing better to do. I find occasional utility in turning my thoughts into coherent paragraphs, though perhaps it would be better not to plaster each draft on my follower's timeline.

Anyway going back to autism, it's frustrating because I think I have the reverse-autism autism when it comes to conversing. When people speak to me, I enjoy the search for meaning. There will always be a difference between what is said versus what is meant due to the limitations of language. That's why I learn many different languages. If I were to go to Brasil and then get mad when I didn't understand people, that'd be pretty damn foolish and would rightfully be my fault. Likewise, it'd be the same in English if I somehow didn't understand what someone was saying due to minor semantic anomalies, or word choice or pronunciation etc.

In my life, I've had conversations with many autists both irl and online. In those conversations, I've had people get very upset and (from my perspective) refuse to understand my point because of quite inconsequential things like using affect rather than effect, or using a general term like airplane when it was acktually a Mi-24P Hind-F helicopter 🤓. These are the moments which make me realize most autistic people add nothing of value to my life. They claim intelligence and logic as a cope to hide their near universal thin-skin. Want to be respected? Become an idiot savant. Paint a giant mural, or invent a more efficient alternator or something. All that massive intellect doesn't amount to jack or shit unless you can back it up with something of value.

@LukeAlmighty @Dudebro @KuteboiCoder The distinction should already be established by neuroscientists, but everyone in positions of scientific authority are niggercattle. "Autism" is the word that's generally accepted to describe it, so that's what I'm going to do.

I'm passionate about linguistics and communication so I'm not unaware of these problems, but ultimately words and meaning require work from both parties. "Autism," even at low levels, manifests itself through the complete refusal or perhaps inability to put in the effort on the understanding side, again pointing to the general selfish and short tempered tendencies. I write and rewrite my text to be as precise as possible, yet it still isn't enough. The onus eventually is on the listener to put the pieces together and understand intent, but for a supposedly logic-obsessed people they largely seem incapable of this.

@LukeAlmighty @Dudebro @KuteboiCoder Don't worry, if you're using that logic-obsessed brain to actually make something of yourself and your surroundings then it doesn't matter.

Autistic people, more prominently in our modern age, are absolutely a drain on time, energy and resources. I have a level 3 autist in my immediate family, so forget about "civilization" as a lofty concept for a moment and think about it on a local level. It's so incredibly exhausting that it takes extended family to jump in and take the role of tard wrangler so the rest of us can catch a break.

All of the traits associated with autism also describe an incredibly self-centered, short tempered, immature, useless person, and I'm tired of playing pretend and acting like that isn't true.

@LukeAlmighty @Dudebro @KuteboiCoder I was writing a reply but it took too long and deserves it's own thread, so here it is: https://poa.st/objects/62ab7f6d-62be-4d28-80db-0fdbbc7cff63

In short though, autists tend to embrace anti-civilizational tendencies due to having a steeper cliff of improvement to climb. I don't hate autistic people or I wouldn't be here. Also, any actual normie who stumbles across my posts would probably conclude I was autistic, which I hope shows how that's not my problem.

addendum: I guess I would say "I hate autists" in the same way I would say "I hate niggers" or "I hate faggots." If they could be those things without being antithetical to life and order, I would have no problems. It is precisely because they destroy and consume rather than build and inspire that makes me hate.

@DC5FAN @KuteboiCoder @LukeAlmighty That's ok, maintenance doesn't just apply to mechanical things, but also mental, social, spiritual etc. and if you don't schedule time for maintenance, they will schedule it for you.

@LukeAlmighty @Dudebro @KuteboiCoder If you want to argue dictionary pedantry then you've got me beat.

@Dudebro @LukeAlmighty @KuteboiCoder If the Internet went down tomorrow, who would be most affected? Women and losers. If you fear the Internet going down you're one of the two.
